“The Reds will win the World Series.”

SI’s Joe Sheehan has made some predictions for 2012, including this one: 10. The Reds will win the World Series. The AL has, arguably, the five best teams in baseball. The NL has that kind of parity at the top, though at a lower level of performance. In a short series, though, that doesn’t really matter — and we’ll see that again in 2012, as the Reds, winners...
